There were issues with manually aligning apks possibly due to upgrading gradle
The manual zipalign even though running with no fail message, would NOT align the apk properly anymore.
Command to manual verify alignment of an apk is:
Android/Sdk/tools/bin/zipalign -c -v 4 release/ScummVM-release-unsigned.apk
And also add some code to load and use the keyCharacterMap of the source device for the event
It is unclear if getUnicodeChar() already does this (loads the keyCharacterMap of the source device.
If it does, then the extra code is redundant.
Also remove ndk.dir from local.properties since it is getting deprecated
Gradle will only use the info (ndkVersion) in gradle.build. Possibly ndkPath too, but we probably don't need that, since ndk is within the sdk folder (default location)
Keyboard was ported over from our SDL port which used https://github.com/pelya/commandergenius/tree/sdl_android/project
Pending optimizations, floatable/draggable implementation and a few bug fixes
We are using a local copy and slightly modified version of KeyboardView and Keyboard (and related resources).
since the android KeyboardView widget will be deprecated in API 29.
The copies are taken from the AOSP, as per the recommendation from Android Developers.
See bug ticket: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/11753
API 29 makes certain file access functions return empty lists due to restricitve policies. We need to come up with an alternative for Android 10 and higher, when we will switch to targeting API 29 (or higher). Google enforces this switch on November 2nd for application updates.
This repeats the commit change that mduggan did
The original commit was:

Then it got revered by:

We need to manually remove some (android_project) directories in order for the builds to succeed on our buildbot after these changes. The buildbot does this itself once daily.
This makes the icon render much better on Android 11 and Chromebook devices. I
think it should also be backwards compatible - although the oldest device I had
to test was Android 7, it works fine there.
Also androidx is replacing the Android Support library so it's best to use this one
According to https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx
AndroidX is a major improvement to the original Android Support Library, which is no longer maintained. androidx packages fully replace the Support Library by providing feature parity and new libraries.
AndroidX replaces the original support library APIs with packages in the androidx namespace. Only the package and Maven artifact names changed; class, method, and field names did not change.
Android API level 29 introduces scoped storage which is enabled by
default for applications targeting level 29.
This protection prevents us to access external storage.
There is a compatibility flag but it will disappear in Android 11.
To target more recent platforms, we should implement SAF FS backend.
Updated NDK to r21 (LTS)
Switch target Android to 29 as it is required by Google Play Store
Switch minimum Android to 16 (4.1) as it is the lowest supported version by NDK
Removed MIPS and armeabi as they are no longer supported
Renamed Android build names into official ones
Also added macros for the plain (non-SDL) Android port __ANDROID_PLAIN_PORT__ and ANDROID_PLAIN_PORT
The workaround of this commit uses the same logic as for the Nintendo Switch port and should suffice for testing purposes. It should be replaced by more elaborate code of installing and maintaining a certificates pem file.
For an unknown reason, having a second activity for Android TV
(Leanback) caused ScummVM to be broken on some Android devices.
According to Android documentation, TV can be supported in the same
activity as everything else, so merge the two together.
Fixes Trac#10024.
Keep uses-flags at the top to avoid them getting buried below
the activities, update target SDK to the minimum supported by
current Android SDKs, make Wi-Fi optional, and add screenSize
configuration change recommended by the Android documentation since
orientation is already supported.
